Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events [Text Block] | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Intended Business Separations Prior to the Dow Distribution, Historical Dow conveyed or transferred the assets and liabilities aligned with Historical Dow’s agriculture business to separate legal entities (“DAS”) and the assets and liabilities associated with its specialty products business to separate legal entities (the “SP Entities”). On April 1, 2019, DAS and the SP Entities were transferred and conveyed to DowDuPont. In furtherance of the Intended Business Separations, the company engaged in a series of internal reorganization and realignment steps (the “Internal Reorganization”) to realign its businesses into three subgroups: agriculture, materials science and specialty products. As part of the Internal Reorganization:
• | the assets and liabilities aligned with the company’s materials science business, including Historical DuPont’s ethylene and ethylene copolymers business, excluding its ethylene acrylic elastomers business, (“ECP”) were transferred or conveyed to separate legal entities (the “Materials Science Entities”) that were ultimately conveyed by DowDuPont to Dow;
• | the assets and liabilities aligned with the company’s specialty products business were transferred or conveyed to separate legal entities (“Specialty Products Entities”);
• | on April 1, 2019, Historical DuPont transferred and conveyed its Materials Science Entities to DowDuPont;
• | on May 1, 2019, Historical DuPont distributed its Special Products Entities to DowDuPont; and
• | on May 2, 2019, DowDuPont conveyed DAS to the company; in connection with the foregoing, the company issued additional shares of its Common Stock to DowDuPont.
As a result of the foregoing, at May 2, 2019, the company holds all or substantially all the assets and liabilities associated with DowDuPont’s combined agriculture business. Beginning in the second quarter of 2019, ECP’s financial results for periods prior to April 1, 2019 will be reflected in Historical DuPont's Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation. Historical DuPont’s specialty products businesses financial results for periods prior to May 1, 2019, will also be reflected in the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation beginning in the second quarter of 2019. The transfer or conveyance of DAS to Historical DuPont will be treated as a transfer of entities under common control. As such, Historical DuPont will record the assets, liabilities, and equity of DAS on its balance sheet at their historical basis. Transfers of businesses between entities under common control requires the financial statements to be presented as if the transaction had occurred at the point at which common control first existed (the "Effective Time of the Merger"). Beginning in the second quarter of 2019, Historical DuPont’s historical financial statements and related notes will be revised to include the historical balances of DAS as of September 1, 2017. Separation Agreements In connection with the Dow Distribution and the intended Corteva Distribution, DowDuPont has entered into or will enter into certain agreements that will effect the separation, provide for the allocation of DowDuPont’s assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including its investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) among DowDuPont, Dow, and Corteva (together, the “Parties” and each a “Party”) , and provide a framework for DowDuPont’s relationship with Dow and Corteva following the separations and Distributions. Effective April 1, 2019, the Parties entered into the following agreements:
• | Separation and Distribution Agreement - The Parties entered into an agreement that sets forth, among other things, the agreements among the Parties regarding the principal transactions necessary to effect the Distributions. It also sets forth other agreements that govern certain aspects of the Parties’ ongoing relationships after the completion of the Distributions (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement").
• | Tax Matters Agreement - The Parties entered into an agreement that governs their respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes.
• | Employee Matters Agreement - The Parties entered into an agreement that identifies employees and employee-related liabilities (and attributable assets) to be allocated (either retained, transferred and accepted, or assigned and assumed, as applicable) to the Parties as part of the Distributions and describes when and how the relevant transfers and assignments will occur.
• | Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreements - Dow and Corteva entered into an Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreement (the “Dow-Corteva IP Cross-License Agreement”). The Intellectual Property Cross-License Agreements set forth the terms and conditions under which the applicable Parties may use in their respective businesses, following each of the Distributions, certain know-how (including trade secrets), copyrights, and software, and certain patents and standards, allocated to another Party pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement.
In connection with the intended Corteva Distribution, DowDuPont expects to enter into additional agreements, including an intellectual property cross-license agreement with Corteva. This agreement will set forth the terms and conditions under which DowDuPont and Corteva may use, in their respective businesses following the Corteva Distribution, certain know-how (including trade secrets), copyrights, and software, and certain patents and standards, allocated to another Party pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Debt Redemptions/Repayments On March 22, 2019, Historical DuPont issued notices of redemption in full of all of its outstanding notes (the “Make Whole Notes”) listed in the table below:
(in millions) | Amount
4.625% Notes due 2020 | $ | 474 |
3.625% Notes due 2021 | 296 |
4.250% Notes due 2021 | 163 |
2.800% Notes due 2023 | 381 |
6.500% Debentures due 2028 | 57 |
5.600% Senior Notes due 2036 | 42 |
4.900% Notes due 2041 | 48 |
4.150% Notes due 2043 | 69 |
Total | $ | 1,530 |
The Make Whole Notes were redeemed on April 22, 2019 at the make-whole redemption prices set forth in the respective Make Whole Notes. On and after the date of redemption, the Make Whole Notes were no longer deemed outstanding, interest on the Make Whole Notes ceased to accrue and all rights of the holders of the Make Whole Notes were terminated. On May 2, 2019 Historical DuPont terminated its Term Loan Facility and repaid the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $3 billion plus accrued and unpaid interest through and including May 1, 2019. In connection with the foregoing, Historical DuPont paid a total of $4.6 billion, which included breakage fees and accrued and unpaid interest on the Make Whole Notes and Term Loan Facility. The company funded the payments with cash from operations and a related party revolving loan of $4.1 billion from Corteva, Inc. with an interest rate of 4.275%, repayable in 5 years. Corteva, Inc. funded its loan to the company with contributions from DowDuPont. Historical DuPont anticipates the loss on the early extinguishment of debt to be approximately $18 million related to the difference between the redemption price and the par value of the Make Whole Notes and Term Loan Facility, partially offset by the write-off of unamortized step-up related to the fair value step-up of Historical DuPont’s debt. On May 7, 2019, DowDuPont publicly announced the record date in connection with the intended Corteva Distribution. In connection with such announcement, the company will be required to mail a notice of redemption to holders of the $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of 2.200% Notes due 2020 and $750 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Notes due 2020 (collectively, the “SMR Notes”) setting forth the date of redemption of the SMR Notes. The date of redemption will be on or before May 24, 2019. On the date of redemption, the company will be required to redeem all of the SMR Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the SMR Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but excluding the date of redemption. Following the redemption, the SMR Notes will no longer be outstanding and will cease to bear interest and all rights of the holders of the SMR Notes will terminate. Historical DuPont believes the redemption will be funded with a draw down on the related party revolving loan from Corteva, however, the actual redemption could be funded through a combination of the related party loan and contributions.
